/SAPSRM/OFFLINEAPPROVALSEND - Off line email for approval

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I am running program /SAPSRM/OFFLINEAPPROVALSEND to send workitems for approval as email to the approvers.

The program is not picking up the workitems.

I debugged the program and initially the select statement is selecting the workitems but then the following check fails.

* these are forwarded workitems

     SELECT * APPENDING TABLE lt_wi_help_for FROM swwloghist

                   FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_wiid WHERE

             wi_id = lt_wiid-wi_id AND method IN ('SWW_WI_FORWARD', 'SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM').

The approver is correctly setup in PPOSA_BBP. The attribute FORWARD_WI is 'X'.

How would an entry get created in table swwloghist with method = SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM?

Thank you for any help.

Hi Raj,

Attribute FORWARD_WI is responsible only for mail notifications.

SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM is a forwarding workitem to another approver.

You can logon into Workflow Inbox select workitem and forward it to another approver.

This check is performed for the following case.

Approver 1 gets sc for approval. After job run he receives a notification. He login into system and select workitem. See, that he is not responsible for that and forward workitem to approver 2.

Approver 2 should also receive notification after forwarding. That is why the forwarding history is checked.

Thank for the reply, not quite what I was looking for but useful.

The problem is solved. For unknown reasons , the program is picking up the workitems now and email creating emails.
